Solgar, Chewable Calcium, 500 mg, 120 Wafers

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.

Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight

The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width &amp; height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Dietary Supplement

Calcium is an essential mineral needed every day for proper health. 99% of the body's calcium can be found in the bones. This mineral provides the building blocks that help keep bones and teeth strong and healthy. In addition, calcium helps to support the health of other systems in the body, including the colon, heart, musculoskeletal and nervous systems, and is a component of enzymes that are required for blood clotting.

When combined with a healthy diet and physical activity, calcium may reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

Suggested Use

As a dietary supplement for adults, take two (2) wafers daily, preferably at mealtime, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.

Warnings

If you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication or have a medical condition, please consult your healthcare practitioner before taking any dietary supplement. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place. Do not use if outer bottle seal is missing, torn or damaged in any way.

My kids love the taste of these. I give my 2 yr old half of the tablet, and my 7 yr old a whole one per day. It gives me piece of mind that they are getting the calcium they need, since we are on a mostly plant based, non dairy diet.

I like these chewable calcium wafers, because I don't like having to swallow big pills. At first, they were tasty and seemed to work for me. This last time, I had the impression they tasted different and more chalky than before. I don't know if the formula changed. It may still be better than swallowing a thick pill.
